I was troubled by how stupid (and ignorant) the congressmen and senators were. One guy asked something along the lines of "Would that uhhh increased aggression and hyperactivity steroids produce would that uhh let a batter see the ball better and improve his hand eye coordination?"
The parents, although it sucks what they went through, were by far the most ridiculous. When asked "Would your son still be alive if MLB players did not use steroids?" by a congressman, all 4 replied "yes." Zero responsibility. I suppose it's Barry Bonds's fault your son went to mexico, bought steroids and I bet Bonds even injected them for him. And of course one of the dads said "I didn't realize he was on steroids while he was alive, but when I look back, I guess I should have noticed something was wrong when he put on about 30 pounds of muscle in his upper body, had severe acne on his face and back, and developed breast tissue." What a moron.
The only intelligent thing that was said was by a psychiatrist who was responding to someone's comparison of steroids to cocaine and heroin. He said something along the lines of "Cocaine and Heroin users are using the drugs simply to get high, whereas steroid users often use the drugs as a means to help them acheive their goals."
2 Teens commit suicide (blamed on roids), and this merits a uproar over the danger of steroids? Compare roids to any drug, including alcohol and tobacco and let's check the death rate.
